Eccleston Mere

Goldeneye 14 (7 adult males, 2 sub adult males, 5 females)
Pink-footed Goose 1000 (flew over NW in five flocks of about 200 birds each)

I don't think I've ever seen 7 adult Goldeneye on the mere before. It certainly has been a good year for them.

There was clearly a big movement of Pink-feet today, with five flocks seen heading NW in just over one hour. Looks like they're moving out of Norfolk and heading back to Lancashire.
